Yes, there is big discrimination all over the world and especially in the Middle East.
If you can turn a blind eye to it, apply. If it's going to bother you, stay at home. Here in Kuwait people point literally at you when you are over weight, black or just look different from them. They also do not reprimand their kids if they do comment. They will even laugh right in your face.
Teachers have a lot to do except teaching subject matter in these countries. We need to teach tolerance.
